It’s with great pleasure that we are able to announce the WPC 2019 Ambassadors. We have selected 16 Ambassadors from a highly competitive pool of applicants who all live with Parkinson’s. They are 9 women and 7 men who hail from 13 countries, speak more than nine languages between them, and combined they’ve been living with Parkinson’s for 96 years.

They are experts on living with Parkinson’s, because they live with it 24/7. They have all attended at least one past World Parkinson Congress and found the WPC experience to be life changing and something they want to help others to experience.

Ambassadors will work as part of our outreach team as we plan for the WPC 2019 in Kyoto, Japan from June 4 – 7, 2019.Whether giving talks at local support groups, writing articles in papers or on blogs, making themselves available to speak about the WPC to communities wanting to learn more about why to attend a World Parkinson Congress, they are invaluable members of the WPC team and we are thrilled to have them on board.

Please just us in welcoming our WPC 2019 Ambassadors:
